Zidane: “The defeat will not affect anything between now and the end of the season”

“In the second half we did everything to turn the tide”, added the Whites' coach.

Zinedine Zidane spoke to the press after the Sevilla game. The coach said: “We lacked something in the final third. We didn’t produce up top, especially in that first half. We were a bit better in the second. I cannot criticise my players because in the second half they did everything right to turn the tide”.

“When you look at the side we put out, you’d think we had enough there to win comfortably. I don't regreat that starting eleven. There are two games to go and today we missed a good chance to pick up points. It’s a real shame”.

Will the defeat affect things?
“We start work again tomorrow and tonight’s result will not affect anything between now and the end of the season”.

We can’t be happy with what we’ve done in the league in terms of results, but we can be with how we played.

"All the players I have are worthy and we came here to win. We play a lot of games and all of the players have to rest. We have a Champions League final coming up, I'm the coach and I decide".

Ramos
"He’s our captain and every time we come here he’s involved in something. His first penalty wasn’t the greatest but that happens. He played well, like everyone else, especially in the second half".

Record in LaLiga
"We can’t be happy with what we’ve done in the league in terms of results, but we can be with how we played. We’re not happy with the first half today, but the second was better. The start of the league season was very difficult".

Ceballos
"He did well and I brought him off because I wanted to add more depth and attacking options with Mayoral. I’m very happy with him. He’s not had much of a run in the side, but it's what this year is about for him".
